- Form into 2 burger patties and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Heat 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil in a griddle pan (or normal frying pan) over a medium heat and cook the burgers for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Top the burgers with 20 g Mature cheddar and either cover with a cloche/lid or put the burgers under a grill (broiler) for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Notes
- Serve with nachos and some Mexican spiced coleslaw.
- Put the burgers in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cooking, as this will help them to stay together.
- We added a habanero chutney for the sauce, but you can use your favourite burger sauce instead.
- Make a low carb version of this by using a giant lettuce leaf instead of a bread bun.
